TGT said:LW, that first picture you posted on this page shows some nice plants growing with lots of well formed buds. Isn't that strange how high they have the lights and for it to produce like it has? I have noticed this in a lot of large scale grows. I wonder why they don't put the lights closer, I am sure it would yieild more. It seems the only people who put the lights close are people doing smaller grows under 8000 watts. Usually anything larger and it seems many keep the lights rather high. I wonder if this is done to make it easier and less time consumming. It is a pain in the ass trying to keep the plants from being burned sometimes. Any other reasons you guys can see? Also, it seems they do rather well at a distance - I wonder if some strains produce more bud under less light?

Its probably a shit-ton of airy popcorn buds under those decent tops. They put overall mass/weight over quality. I wouldnt want to trim those. I guess not having to raise and lower that many lights makes for quicker setup and lower maintenance.
